    Default Hey an update!!!

    Hello All

    Well it's been a while since my last update. All is going well with the competition fish. They went a week without a water change while I was on vacation. They remained on the auto feeder that was dishing out four feedings a day however I did reduce the amount to half of what they normally get. I did a 75% water change the night that I got back, then a 50% the following day. Now we are back to 50% every other day. I haven't noticed any great change in their size however their colours are intense. I guess viborant (sp. ???) would be the word I should use. Beautiful!!! It seems that I have two pairs in the tank. One laid eggs on the side of the glass and the other on the flower pot that I have in there. The original pair had their eggs to the wiggler state so far but not to free swimming state as of yet. As for the rest of my fish...they are all doing well as well, so I'm happy.

    Here are some pics...enjoy!!
